The Doe Dynasty. [Complete but not HoF.]

[Ricalynn]

Lindsay is adorable.   It's too bad about that bee.  Evil bee.   I bet an IF sent that bee to get David back for leaving him in the junkyard. 

[Orange Iguana]

Lindsay looks so cute! Is she going to skip school so she doesn't have to go out?

Believe me, if I could homeschool sims in this game, Lindsay would not be grouping up with family members so that she can ride the motive mobile to school.

Lindsay is adorable.   It's too bad about that bee.  Evil bee.   I bet an IF sent that bee to get David back for leaving him in the junkyard. 

It's definitely possible. Every time an immortal gets an IF, it gets sent straight to the junkyard.

Does Lindsey really have to go to school. Marcus could tutor her at home to get her grades up. That way she can work on her writing whilst at home.

It's a thought, but the main reason I'm sending her to school to begin with is so that she can meet some new friends for her best friend requirements. Even then, that's starting to backfire because the friends that Marcus made while he went to school are all starting to die of old age and Marcus had just become an adult. Maybe I could try experimenting with the no school, supermaxed logic tutor approach on another file.

Congrats with all the birthdays. If you don't sent a child to school and home school them, won't the parent lecture and ground them? Lol!

[ratchie]

I had a game where my Sim parent grounded their child for being out after hours this meant that my Sim child was not allowed to go to school and when I tried to send her the parent caught her,grounded her again so she couldn't leave the house.
I am pretty sure that Sim parents will not do anything if their offspring does not go to school the only thing that could happen is that the child would do bad in school and you would not be able to choose a trait when they age up. But if they are tutored at home then they should still get an A in school and all will be fine.

In my Khalid dynasty my writer Kitty never went to school she stayed at home writing and being tutored by her mum Lotty.

That is great to know Rachel, I will definitely try it.

Episode Twenty Eight: Lindsay Wrote This Episode

Since Lindsay is an aspiring writer, the author of the story felt it would be good to let her write an episode of this dynasty. For this episode, the reins will be handed to Lindsay. You may begin.


My name is Lindsay Doe and I live with my 4 grandparents, my daddy, and my mommy who is also a grandma. I like to write stories on the computer and the publish man gives me money to do it but I can't write while I'm at school. I hate school because I have to go outside. I hate being outside.



My daddy is a surgeon. He cuts people open and plays with their insides. It sounds like a fun job but he said I can't go into that career. That's fine with me, blood creeps me out. Today my school wanted me to attend a free soccer game. I wanted daddy to come along but he wasn't allowed in early so we had to wait outside. It was so awful.


On Tuesday, it was my birthday. Daddy offered to let stay home today but I went to school anyway. The teachers said that they would have a special surprise for me if I went on my birthday.


I tried to throw a birthday party and invite everyone I met at school but nobody wanted to come. Why? Did I do something wrong? Does no one care? It wasn't a very good birthday.


When I became older, I had a realization. When writing stories, even the tiniest slip-up will cause the publisher to turn your books down. Each and every book has to be proofread multiple times, have typos fixed, and overall be perfect. I had become a perfectionist that day.


I wasn't really hungry for cake so I decided to go into one of our sleeping rooms and take that hairpiece out. I also decided to change my clothes to something a little more comfortable.


Before I could go back to writing stories, I needed to learn to drive. It was a bit nerve-wracking but these motive mobiles make learning stress free. Writing novels is stressful enough.


My dad did offer to take me out of school and homeschool me. He said he even took unpaid time off for it. As long as I don't have to leave the house, I'm willing to try anything.


Unfortunately, Dad shared too much in common with me so sometimes the idea of tutoring me never came to mind. He did teach mom how to do it but somehow, I don't think she's quite as effective.


My grandparents said that in order for me to taste ambrosia for myself, I needed to invest in some real estate. Buying the day spa, a place we all visit once a week, was an investment I'm sure will pay off in the long run. For my property, I chose the art museum. It needed a few more pieces of art for it to really pay off. Nothing a harrier and a few fountains can't fix.


My parents would constantly yell at me for not going to school even though it was their idea to tutor me and my dad won't even do it. Each day, when I normally have to go to school, I go to the library and write my novels there instead. I'm beginning to wonder if this homeschooling was a good idea or not.

Episode Twenty Nine: The Fifth Immortal

Some sims are able to pull off homeschooling, others can not. It depends on how much effort the parent is willing to put into tutoring the child. Laziness is a parent's worst enemy as it causes the child to also suffer academically. Will Lindsay be able to pick a final trait? Will Lindsay even be able to graduate?

When we last left our family, Lindsay wrote about her experiences being a homeschooled writer.


We begin our episode with Lindsay having enough of her parents not tutoring her when she's forced to miss school for writing. All they were really teaching her anyway was stuff that she was never going to need in life like calculus.


Unfortunately for Lauren, she wasn't going to make it to Lindsay's Young Adult birthday.

Lauren: Oh I really don't mind.


David: Hey Grim, what's up?
Grim: I've come to attend your great, great, great granddaughter's house party. Unfortunately, I had to claim a soul in order to make my appearance.
David: Cool, cool, enjoy the party.

The rest of the guests felt a loud noise suddenly, as if the spirit of Lauren suddenly yelled "YOU KILLED ME JUST SO YOU COULD ATTEND MY DAUGHTER'S PARTY!?"

Grim: Please ignore that.


Grim was starting to become a popular guest actually.

David: Grim, stopping by to party?
Grim: I have come to claim two souls whose flame has been snuffed out.
Marcus: MY BEST FRIEND REQUIREMENT!
David: Oh, right, can you stop reaping my great great grandson's best friend's souls? He needs them right now.
Grim: I cannot delay their deaths to postpone your great grandson's.
David: Well I tried, hope you have a plan B.


When partying isn't an option, there is one other way for Marcus to make friends. Invite the guy out somewhere, cure the guy with the moodlet manager, form a group, drive somewhere with the motive mobile for about 5-10 sim minutes, cancel, and start socializing. In Marcus's case, he preferred logic tutoring.

Marcus: *Is saying stuff that's too complicated for both you and the author to comprehend.*
Dallas Garnett: I see, so that's why Sunset Valley has no animals.


A couple days later, it was time for Lindsay's young adult birthday. She had just managed to save her hide in school by actually going there instead of having Marcus try to teach her. On the very last day she had to go to school, she got put on the honor roll. Go Lindsay.

Lindsay: Dad, couldn't you have invited my friends instead of yours?
Marcus: Next time, I promise unless you do the inviting yourself.


Lindsay: I'm going to have to hit the body sculptor it seems. I don't feel neurotic though so that's a plus.

Growing up with her laptop, Lindsay became quite proficient at the use and maintenance of computers. Lindsay has become a computer whiz.


A quick trip to the body sculptor, dresser, and mirror and not much has changed really.


A couple of days later, it was finally time for Marcus's elder birthday. So as long as no one dies of old age this time around, we're looking at you woman in the green jacket, Marcus's new best friend will secure him immortality.

Marcus: (Soon, I'll be able to guarantee that my consciousness will be able to be transferred to a human robot so that my intellectual brilliance and medical knowledge can be preserved forever.)



Timer started, get your portrait, sculpture and photograph done quickly.


Great, you qualify now, hurry up and--

Marcus: Before I eat this ambrosia, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you all everything I have accomplished up this point. When I was a child, I pursued the path of logic very passionately through chemistry and the occasional battle against myself in a game of chess. As a teenager, my days were spent spreading my knowledge to others and discovering stars in the galaxy. I would like to read to all the full list of stars I have discovered.

-Best Immortal, Right Here
-Fifth Gen is Best Gen
-I'm Amazing
-I'm Awesome
-I'm Better Than Everyone
-I'm Number One
-I'm the--


Everyone: EAT THE AMBROSIA ALREADY!


Marcus: Okay okay I'm eating... this is worse than the hospital food.

Marcus Doe is now immortal.

Congrads on your 5th Immortal. Lindsey is very pretty , your getting so close to the finish line. 

[loveSims]

Congrats with your fifth immortal! 

[MarianT]

Congratulations on No. 5!

[Orange Iguana]

Almost done with the dynasty, just two generations to give birth to and three to immortalize. As a generations owner, this becomes the hard part because this is where a computer starts to cry in pain whenever you have to load the file or close the game. Dumb memories.
